@@allenruss2976 I saw DAC at Billy Bob's a long time ago. Two Pantera members were at a table near the front. Vinnie went up and played drums for a couple songs.
That album was pretty good, but I thought Damageplan was much better. I wore that one out. We used to play their song "Cold Blooded" along with a few Pantera tunes back in the day in one of my old metal bands....great times.
@@BayouMaccabee Yeah, I really only liked 2-3 songs on Rebel Meets Rebel, and I'd say the same about Damage Plan. I think Phil still did some good shit with Super Joint Ritual and Down, but I wasn't a huge fan of the Abbott brothers when Pantera dissolved. I didn't like the nu-metal stuff. Far Beyond Driven was the end for Pantera. Great Southern Trend Kill and Reinventing the Steel had good songs, but they weren't the same. Trend Kill was too experimental, and Reinventing the Steel was too cliche of a "comeback" album. We're hard again!!!
Dimebag is the lead guitarist (blue guitar with lightning bolts) which is affectionately known as The Dean from Hell . When i was 15 i saw them with some friends in Cleveland and they were hanging out by their tour bus. We saw everyone in the band except for Dimes, my friends left to call our ride and then Dimes came off the bus. I got to talk with him for 1-1.5 hours before my friends came back. Dimebag gave me an autographed Heineken bottle and pot leaf necklace that he was wearing.I still have them as well as Dimes pick (that is a cool story unto itself) He told me how to do his harmonic squeal. Pantera were a band that loved thier fans and we miss them.
Im 48 and a man. I love pantera. I will listen to anything from country gospel, classical, old country, Rock to rap. But pantera is my my favorite heavy band.
100% 5 Minutes Alone, I'm Broken and the other banger is Revolution Is My Name. Those three have such an energy and diferent groove that I'm sure you'll love them all
When this album came out, there was nothing like it. Their second major label record, Vulgar DIsplay of Power, is nonstop anthems from the opening track to the very last. I am blessed to say I saw the original lineup 5 times in the 90s. The surviving members are touring as a celebration of the band's music. I've seen that lineup twice. It's awesome. Oh, a suggestion for Pegasus Vs the World, you should check out the home video (that was a thing back then 😏) Vulgar Video. You see a different side of the band and you get to see why Dime and Vinny are missed so much....
When I was in high school ( the same high school Phil Anselmo went too) Phil sang for a band called RAZOR WHITE, I went to to BOOT CAMP, about a year later I saw PANTERA on Virginia Beach and I said, "THAT'S PHIL ANSELMO!" and the rest is HISTORY, THEY DOMINATED AMERICA 🇺🇸 AND MTV
While other teens were tuned into Yo! MTV Raps, late night Saturday I was transfixed by Headbanger's Ball. "Cowboys from Hell's" opening chords were the intro music to Headbanger's Ball. This was the one time when you could not only watch hairbands but you could also see the underground scene with Metal that wouldn't get airtime anywhere else. It had other hosts before and after, but the best was Riki Rachtman. The others weren't bad, but you could tell Riki was another headbanger like you. The good old days when MTV actually played music that is what the "M" stands for.
I don’t know why they don’t change the name. It’s not even remotely close to anything that it used to be. I still remember Dire Straits and I want my MTV! Now it’s got shows like have sex with your cousin on the beach and has nothing to do with music. And it’s a predominantly black channel. MTV didn’t used to have a race.
I watched both. What I mostly listened to on my walkman while skating was punk but what I had in my truck was Hank Jr, Grateful Dead, CCR, Megadeth, Beastie Boys, and Run DMC. Guess I've always been pretty eclectic in my music.
@@themightybuzzard3088 I to love all music and listen to everything. The artists with the most CDs in my collection are Frank Sinatra, and Herbert von Karajan (I own approximately 400 cd's by him), I can't decide if he or Arturo Toscanini were the greatest conductors of the 20th Century. Heavy Metal and Classical are my favorite genres. Meatloaf is always in my top 5 artist as is Barry Manilow. Current top artist is Babymetal. Shania Twain, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Savatage, Bell Witch, Burzum, Blue Oyster Cult, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Hank William Sr., Rachmaninov, Vanessa Mae, Sunn O))), Ministry, Kingston Trio, Patsy Cline, 2Pac, The Velvet Underground, The Clash, My Dying Bride, Dillinger's Escape Plan, Insane Clown Posse, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond, Bobby Vee, High Contrast, Haydn, Stravinsky, The Grateful Dead, Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Muddy Waters, Miles Davis, and Robert Johnson are a small sample of other artists whose music I adore.
Imagine u were guitarist Dimebag Darrell (then, Diamond Darrell) and u were live on MTV studios in 1990 to promote Pantera's first music video 'Cowboys from hell'... and as soon u were done, somebody on the set tells u that your IDOL, vocalist Rob Halford of Judas Priest, is on the phone wanting to talk to u (He had seen the Judas Priest t-shirt of 'British Steel' that Darrell wore in the video) and he loved the Pantera song and video! And then, Halford tells u that he wants Pantera to open shows for Judas Priest... THAT was the IMPACT that Pantera's 'Cowboys from hell' 🤘🤘had at the time it was released... Original Kiss lead guitarist Ace Frehley recalled doing a photo shoot w/ the guitarist named Diamond Darrell of Pantera in 1992 for a guitar magazine... and Ace is a tall guy and in comes this short guy w/ greasy hair and a goatee... and Darrell was one of the biggest Kiss fans, showing some of his Kiss collection to his guitar hero... Ace recalled Darrell taking off his shirt and there was a huge tattoo of Ace Frehley's Kiss makeup persona on his chest... and he begged Ace to sign it! "No way!" Ace replied, but Darrell was persistent... "C'mon dude! Please!" Ace relented; he signed Darrell's chest tattoo and he was just in heaven! They took a break during the shoot and Darrell disappeared for a bit... he returned and showed Ace that his autograph was tattooed on his chest. On tour, Dimebag Darrell was the life of the party... he was always giving away shots of whiskey and cola (He called it 'Black tooth grin' from a Megadeth song) to fans, crew and other bands backstage... and u couldn't refuse! Pantera had a rule - u drink w/ the band or u get fired 😲And quite a few people were puking at the end of the night cos of the shots going round... Darrell was always making up games backstage to fill the idle time, including giving people ca$h to do gross things 🤮 Ozzy/ Black Label Society guitarist Zakk Wylde called Pantera a "toga party 24/7"... He dedicated the emotional song 'In this river' to his friend Dimebag Darrell in 2005 w/ a music video depicting himself and Dimebag as 2 adolescent boys - the video ends w/ the 2 boys jumping in the river and getting separated by the current and an adult Zakk Wylde emerges alone from the river and makes it to the bank. When Dimebag Darrell was killed in 2004, many of his peers showed up to say goodbye at his funeral and service... One of them was Darrell's idol - guitarist Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen... Even though Eddie Van Halen was in bad shape from drug and alcohol abuse in late '04, he brought w/ him a used guitar that was photographed on the album 'Van Halen II' from 1979 and donated it to be buried w/ the late guitarist... He also reportedly played a message on his answering machine that Dimebag Darrell had left just prior to his death, thanking Eddie Van Halen for his contributions to guitar playing. Gene Simmons of Kiss donated a Kiss coffin which Dimebag Darrell was laid to rest in. That was how big an impact Dimebag Darrell and his brother Vinnie Paul had on the metal community.
My husband and I sent to Metallica this summer. I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed Pantera. I honestly wasn’t expecting much without the original band members. But honestly they were really good. The concert was at Lumen field (where Seahawks play) They invited Blue Thunder (the drum line band that plays arbSeahawk games) to join them during Walk. It was fantastic. They payed homage to the Abbot brothers too. What surprised me the most was the amount of teen to 20 year olds that sang every word of every song they played. It was good seeing young people love heavy metal
Hahaha, loved that Pantera song mash up you did at the begining🤘😆 One thing about Pantera is the guitars are so clean sounding...I dunno if that makes sence, but it does in my head soo.....🤷♂ I also heard they owned a strip club in Dallas. Dimebag Darrel's brother died too, Vinnie Paul (drummer) of health issues a few yrs ago. RIP to both🙏. Great reaction P!! 40!
Pantera definitely had some rowdy shows. I've been to about 50 shows in my life and the only time I ever got hurt was seeing Pantera. Of course that was back in the day before everyone stood around holding cellphones instead of getting rowdy....
BP if you check out more Pantera check out Medicine Man, Revolution is My Name, and This Love, Both Dime and Vinny passed away now, the Abbot brothers are rocking out in that mosh pit in the sky. Vinny passed away a few years later. Hellyeah is also an amazing band to check out, it's Vinny's supergroup he was in. They did an awesome tribute to Dime using some unused riffs he recorded prior to dying
I saw Pantera live in 1994 (can't believe it's been 30 years already!)- right up at the front, stood in front of Dimebag. It was a crazy concert! If you jumped in the air, sometimes your feet wouldn't land back on the ground from the sheer mass of the crowd going crazy. At one point I saw a nice watch laying on the floor, and I thought if that's not destroyed, I'll check it out at the end of the gig. Well I forgot all about that watch, but a few hours later I noticed my wrist was bare; I'd been moshing on my own time piece! :)
that sounds like all the stories i know from the old mosh music pit days.. and many of the reasons i never wanted to go into the pit! hahah i wore glasses, i knew they wouldnt make it the whole show. awesome story thanks for sharing!
The bass tone towards the end of the song made me a lifetime fan. 5 albums + 2 songs in a decade 1990 - 2000. My knees actually buckled when my girlfriend told me of the news. First Pantera show: age 15 at the Roseland, Manhattan. Far Beyond Driven was not out yet & were testing out songs from it. I heard Domination before it was released. I needed that pit to feel alive.
Pantera has an album called "Vulgar Display of Power." The name comes from the Exorcist quote "Father Damien Karras: If you're the Devil, why don't you make the straps disappear? Regan MacNeil (possessed girl): That's much too vulgar a display of power, Karras."
It's ridiculous how often I'm the 420th person to like a video. I always love the reaction to Phil's deep-as-f speaking voice mixed in there directly after some insanely high scream.
March 22 1995 I saw these dudes at the Colorado Springs City Auditorium with Type O Negative! This is still to this day one of my top 3 concerts that I have been to! Check out Type O when you get a chance! Peace and RIP Dime! 🤘
This is my favorite Pantera song. I remember the entire stadium going nuts when they started playing this live at their concert that I went to in 1995. Man, it was a rowdy night for sure.
Great band that found it's footing. They were decent originally as a hair band but great when they moved to a harder sound. Plenty of hits to choose from. If you want the country version of Pantera check out Rebel meets Rebel. This was a project with one of the og outlaw country singers David Allan Coe singing and Dimebag Darryl, Vinnie Paul and Rex Brown backing him. In other words country Pantera
I've never heard of that spinoff from them but it sounds interesting. Phil had quite a few bands he's done now and there were a few with the Pauls.. Damage plan was a name i remember.
The full name of the venue was The Alrosa Villa, and it was in Columbus, Ohio until it was demolished (within the past 10 years). Had 3 friends at the show when Dimebag was shot, and it changed their lives forever. Lots of psychological trauma…
I did a shot with Dime once at his "Clubhouse" in Dallas... He was GENUINELY out to make sure everyone was having a good time... Full on rock god, and asking me how my day was... and it wasn't just pandering.. He was a sincerely nice guy... R.I.P. to the Legend.
I am so psyched you have discovered “Cowboys from Hell”. This is one of my faves of Pantera and in my workout playlist especially when doing deadlifts!! You should listen to the Art of Shredding or Mouth for War next time - they are insane!!
Dime is the guitar player his brother, Vinnie Paul is the drummer. check out the KISS FACES on Dimes guitar he grew up a big KISS fan. He is buried in a KISS Coffin donated by Gene Simmons, and he's got Eddie Van Halen's black and yellow guitar with him for all eternity, along with a bunch of bourbon.
First concert I went to was Pantera were headliners, White Zombie and the Deftones were the openers. Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. 1998. Still one of my top 3 concerts.
You are right. Dimebag is the one with the curly huge amount of long hair playing the lead guitar that you love so much. They were in the beginning of heavy metal.
you literally made me cry at the end when you lamented about seeing them irl. They were my first concert and I saw them 3 times over the years. recordings dont do anything like what being there was like and it hurts me to my core that this generation will miss out on some of the best sound ever to make its way to the universe
My first show was with my Korean friend Suki when I was 15. She was 16 and 4'11" We had balcony seats ... I went down to the floor .... and I got my ass kicked in the PIT. My parents thought I was at the movies. We went to 2 more shows together over the years! What people dont understand is there WAS NOT ANY SOUND like this ... This was being played on LOUD speakers that we dont even use today. We dont play music loud enough today to appreciate what THIS IS>
I was very lucky to witness the craziness that is Pantera they were on the reinventing the steel tour and this was the last tour before they disbanded. RIP DIME AND VINNIE you guys made metal all the more fun🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Firstly, R.I.P DBD. Nice vid man. Your H. Mack vids got me into your channel, keep up the good work mate. I would really love to see you react to a band called Periphery. There are so many great songs by them but if I had to pick one (that had a music video) I'd go with Wildfire.
RIP St. Vin & Dime. Dime (guitarist) was murdered on stage at the Alrosa Villa Dec 8th 2004. Vinnie Paul (the drummer and Dime's actual brother) died in 2018 at 54 of a heart condition. So damn sad!
I can't wait to see what other songs you check out from Pantera. Some of mine are, 5 minutes alone, cemetery gates, this love, mouth of war, domination. And their cover of cat scratch fever by Ted nugent Always get excited to hear your take on some of my favorite songs
if it's up your alley, nickelback's Side of a Bullet is actually about the night that dimebag darrel got shot and killed, and in one of their live performances on youtube, they mention that the riffs/solo they used in the song is from outtakes from pantera themselves
You could end up feeling "Hollow". You'll be saying "I'm broken" if you survive "5 minutes alone". And even if you leave "cowboys" behind you, you still might "by demons be driven", if you aren't "slaughtered" from "shedding skin". Heck, you could get "sandblasted skin" from the "floods", and then they'll have to "drag the water".😂😂😂 if you survive, you may reach "a new level".
Vinny Paul was the drummer and he has passed away as well. Pantera is having a reunion tour it started last year and Dime Bag's best friend Zakk Wylde is replacing Dime and Charlie Benante is replacing Vinny on drums. A lot of Pantera fans aren't happy about it but I think they're doing an amazing job 🤘
You must check out I’m broken , 5 minutes alone, mouth for war , regular people, drag the waters , art of shredding and etc can’t go wrong with pantera
i saw Pantera , when they first came to UK tour of cowboys from hell album in London , the best gig i been to , the sound was amazing , it was mental , a wall of speakers i mean a wall of speakers , cried when dime died and his bro the drummer these was pure metal
RAZOR WHITE was his band before PANTERA, in Metairie, Louisiana and they all had an apartment in Metairie in my neighborhood, METAIRIE is a Suburb of New Orleans
Two tracks you should check out : Pantera - "A New Level" which is about standing up for yourself when everything seems against you. Type O Negative - "Halloween in Heaven" which is a tribute to Dimebag, as Type O and Pantera were friends.
RIP to the greatest brother duo in metal history
Most would probably say Eddie and Alex, but i agree 100% Dimebag and Vinnie Paul!! R.I.P DIMEBAG AND VINNIE PAUL!! GET YA PULL! 🤘🤘
Hey, what about Nelson?
Amen brother!
best after Cavalera brothers
@@umgfll7950 definitely gotta put Max and Igor in that top 5!!!
Dimebag is the guitarist and his brother Vinnie Paul on drums. We lost both of them sadly.
Have you ever heard Rebel meets Rebel. David Allan Coe with Dimebag Darryl, Vinnie Paul and Rex Brown?
@@allenruss2976 I had that album on CD, but sadly when I moved, I had to give up my collection.

'This Love' is a must!
Not the video though. You cant cut that riff.
And "5 Minutes Alone".
💯💯💯

I’m a 72 year old woman and I have always loved the long haired guys. This is a kick ass group. Hell ya! Love it!!! ♥️🌹♥️

Hell yeah. Yes, they're going to hell. And yer 72.
Ew
@@wonderweasle2212 Don't get your diaper twisted; she would've been in her 30s when this song was released.
51 -year-old, ripped longhair musician approves this message.
The singer, Phil Anselmo, has a band called Down. The song "Stone the Crow" shows a different side of his singing ability.
Definitely need more DOWN reactions!
DOWN & COC!!!
He should check out Beautifully Depressed as well....
You will love Pantera a New Level, 5 Min alone.
yeah, 5 min alone has that walk vibe
A NEW LEVEEEELLLLL!!!!!!
OF CONFIDEEEEENCE !!!!
5 Minutes Alone and Broken! Two bangers from them!
"I'm Broken" is such an incredible groove.
Absolut!!!!
100% 5 Minutes Alone, I'm Broken and the other banger is Revolution Is My Name. Those three have such an energy and diferent groove that I'm sure you'll love them all
Not sure if I am remembering correctly, but I think both of those were on Far Beyond Driven album and that was my favorite album of theirs.
"This Love" by Pantera! Glad you're liking these guys. Groove metal at its finest.
This!!!^^^^^^^^^
I concur. Do “This Love” next and please do the full version not the radio/music video edit
5 minutes alone

"Drag the Waters" by Pantera is one of favs that generally gets overshadowed a lot.
All this album is underrated
Yes! I swear I grew up at the best time for music
Imagine u were guitarist Dimebag Darrell (then, Diamond Darrell) and u were live on MTV studios in 1990 to promote Pantera's first music video 'Cowboys from hell'... and as soon u were done, somebody on the set tells u that your IDOL, vocalist Rob Halford of Judas Priest, is on the phone wanting to talk to u (He had seen the Judas Priest t-shirt of 'British Steel' that Darrell wore in the video) and he loved the Pantera song and video! And then, Halford tells u that he wants Pantera to open shows for Judas Priest... THAT was the IMPACT that Pantera's 'Cowboys from hell' 🤘🤘had at the time it was released...
Original Kiss lead guitarist Ace Frehley recalled doing a photo shoot w/ the guitarist named Diamond Darrell of Pantera in 1992 for a guitar magazine... and Ace is a tall guy and in comes this short guy w/ greasy hair and a goatee... and Darrell was one of the biggest Kiss fans, showing some of his Kiss collection to his guitar hero... Ace recalled Darrell taking off his shirt and there was a huge tattoo of Ace Frehley's Kiss makeup persona on his chest... and he begged Ace to sign it!
"No way!" Ace replied, but Darrell was persistent... "C'mon dude! Please!"
Ace relented; he signed Darrell's chest tattoo and he was just in heaven!
They took a break during the shoot and Darrell disappeared for a bit... he returned and showed Ace that his autograph was tattooed on his chest.
On tour, Dimebag Darrell was the life of the party... he was always giving away shots of whiskey and cola (He called it 'Black tooth grin' from a Megadeth song) to fans, crew and other bands backstage... and u couldn't refuse! Pantera had a rule - u drink w/ the band or u get fired 😲And quite a few people were puking at the end of the night cos of the shots going round... Darrell was always making up games backstage to fill the idle time, including giving people ca$h to do gross things 🤮

THIS LOVE ~ THIS LOVE ~ THIS LOVE ~ THIS LOVE ~ THIS LOVE
Yep, Al Rosa Villa Columbus Ohio Dec 8th 2004, with his band Damage Plan. I remember crying when i saw the news and the video is even more disturbing.
I saw Pantera live 5 times, greatest shows ever!

I first saw Pantera when they were performing in clubs. I was bouncing in a bar and they were performing. Hell of a show.

Phil Anselmo is Vocals,
Dime is Guitar,
Rex is the bass player,
And Vinny is the dude beating the skins on drums
RIP Vinnie Paul Abbott as well. He is Dimes brother and the Drummer for Pantera.

It's ridiculous how often I'm the 420th person to like a video.
I always love the reaction to Phil's deep-as-f speaking voice mixed in there directly after some insanely high scream.
One of best sounding shows I’ve ever been to. When these guys hit the stage it was pure insanity from beginning to end.
Saw Pantera in there prime.....Still one of the best live shows I have seen. They were a force to be reconned with.
Saw Pantera twice in the early 90s, the pit was next level. A few bruises and a brother with a black eye, well worth it.
And We Picked Each Other UP on the Way Around 🫡👍😎
@wareagle3349 for sure
Finally another pantera song!
My favorite song from them right here. Best entro of any song
"F*cking Hostile" from Vulgar Display of Power. Twill be your next favorite Pantera song. I guarantee it.
March 22 1995 I saw these dudes at the Colorado Springs City Auditorium with Type O Negative! This is still to this day one of my top 3 concerts that I have been to! Check out Type O when you get a chance! Peace and RIP Dime! 🤘
First time listening to Pantera and they are a local band that I've heard about for decades.
This is my favorite Pantera song. I remember the entire stadium going nuts when they started playing this live at their concert that I went to in 1995. Man, it was a rowdy night for sure.
All their music is fire!
Great band that found it's footing. They were decent originally as a hair band but great when they moved to a harder sound. Plenty of hits to choose from. If you want the country version of Pantera check out Rebel meets Rebel. This was a project with one of the og outlaw country singers David Allan Coe singing and Dimebag Darryl, Vinnie Paul and Rex Brown backing him. In other words country Pantera
I've never heard of that spinoff from them but it sounds interesting. Phil had quite a few bands he's done now and there were a few with the Pauls.. Damage plan was a name i remember.
Dimebag is hands down my favorite metal guitarist. He was incredible!!
I suggest “Hollow” by them. It’s one of my favorites. It’s a bit slower than their usual but the ending is absolutely killer!
I love your metal face!
Someone told me long ago that when I listen to metal it looks like I’m smelling something foul. You remind me of that comment❤
The full name of the venue was The Alrosa Villa, and it was in Columbus, Ohio until it was demolished (within the past 10 years). Had 3 friends at the show when Dimebag was shot, and it changed their lives forever. Lots of psychological trauma…
One of my favs always have been and I'm a Denver girl. Hello BP so glad you're enjoying your Pantera journey.
I did a shot with Dime once at his "Clubhouse" in Dallas... He was GENUINELY out to make sure everyone was having a good time... Full on rock god, and asking me how my day was... and it wasn't just pandering.. He was a sincerely nice guy... R.I.P. to the Legend.
4 guys. Dime Bag on guitar. Vinny Paul on drums, Rex Brown on bass, Phil Alsoemo on vocals.
Hard to believe that it’s been almost 20 years since he’s been gone, it happened on Dec 8th of 2004.
I am so psyched you have discovered “Cowboys from Hell”. This is one of my faves of Pantera and in my workout playlist especially when doing deadlifts!! You should listen to the Art of Shredding or Mouth for War next time - they are insane!!
Yea this is one of my fav Pantera tracks
Dime is the guitar player his brother, Vinnie Paul is the drummer. check out the KISS FACES on Dimes guitar he grew up a big KISS fan.
He is buried in a KISS Coffin donated by Gene Simmons, and he's got Eddie Van Halen's black and yellow guitar with him for all eternity, along with a bunch of bourbon.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
RIP to the Abott Brothers Dime Bag-the guitar and Vinnie-the drummer) you are sorely missed and always will be. You guys changed music forever!!!
My introduction to Pantera. I love this song.
This takes me back, these concerts back in the 90s were incredible.
First concert I went to was Pantera were headliners, White Zombie and the Deftones were the openers. Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. 1998. Still one of my top 3 concerts.
You are right. Dimebag is the one with the curly huge amount of long hair playing the lead guitar that you love so much. They were in the beginning of heavy metal.
This song was my introduction to Pantera. Instant love!
A new level, I'm broken, 5 minutes alone, this love, hallowed, primal concrete sledge...the list goes on really. They don't have a bad song.
I worked in front of the stage a few times at Roseland ballroom New York City, one of the best live bands ever
As a chick, I have been in the mosh pit for Pantera 3 times...
Got bruised ribs once & always bruised AF....
WORTH IT!!!!
you literally made me cry at the end when you lamented about seeing them irl. They were my first concert and I saw them 3 times over the years. recordings dont do anything like what being there was like and it hurts me to my core that this generation will miss out on some of the best sound ever to make its way to the universe
Ya gotta do I'm Broken. The energy is amazing. This is the greatest groove metal band in history IMO. RIP Dimebag and Vinnie.
These boys rock
Seen them at Roseland Ballroom in NYC in 91 with Suicidal Tendencies and Exodus
The pit took a few people that night
Small world. Was at that show too.
In the pit of course \m/
@DebbieDempster-n1q what a show with some friendly violent fun
My first concert was Black Sabbath and Pantera in 1999, no show has ever touched it but a few have come close.
My first show was with my Korean friend Suki when I was 15. She was 16 and 4'11" We had balcony seats ... I went down to the floor .... and I got my ass kicked in the PIT. My parents thought I was at the movies. We went to 2 more shows together over the years! What people dont understand is there WAS NOT ANY SOUND like this ... This was being played on LOUD speakers that we dont even use today. We dont play music loud enough today to appreciate what THIS IS>
I love you bro!!!
I knew there was Something special about you!!!
I was very lucky to witness the craziness that is Pantera they were on the reinventing the steel tour and this was the last tour before they disbanded. RIP DIME AND VINNIE you guys made metal all the more fun🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Firstly, R.I.P DBD. Nice vid man. Your H. Mack vids got me into your channel, keep up the good work mate. I would really love to see you react to a band called Periphery. There are so many great songs by them but if I had to pick one (that had a music video) I'd go with Wildfire.
I can't believe that this came out in 90 or 91, still LOVE IT, doesn't sound "DATED TO ME!"
Dimebag you are missed brother. Noone played the guitar like you. RIP
Slaughter To Prevail - DEMOLISHER
RIP St. Vin & Dime. Dime (guitarist) was murdered on stage at the Alrosa Villa Dec 8th 2004. Vinnie Paul (the drummer and Dime's actual brother) died in 2018 at 54 of a heart condition. So damn sad!
I've been listening to pantera since the 90s
This song never fails to turn someone into a metal head 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hi BP.yes,dimebag was the guitarist,and he was an awesome one.his brother vinnie Paul was the drummer.he has also.passed.show the brother some love
I can't wait to see what other songs you check out from Pantera. Some of mine are, 5 minutes alone, cemetery gates, this love, mouth of war, domination. And their cover of cat scratch fever by Ted nugent Always get excited to hear your take on some of my favorite songs
Check out "Broken", "5 Minutes Alone", "This Love", "Revolution is My Name", "Floods", "Mouth for War.
I used to play this in the morning to wake my boys up for elementary school. Gets the blood flowing.
if it's up your alley, nickelback's Side of a Bullet is actually about the night that dimebag darrel got shot and killed, and in one of their live performances on youtube, they mention that the riffs/solo they used in the song is from outtakes from pantera themselves
I am here for all of this 🤘🤘🤘
You could end up feeling "Hollow". You'll be saying "I'm broken" if you survive "5 minutes alone". And even if you leave "cowboys" behind you, you still might "by demons be driven", if you aren't "slaughtered" from "shedding skin". Heck, you could get "sandblasted skin" from the "floods", and then they'll have to "drag the water".😂😂😂 if you survive, you may reach "a new level".
I'm broken is one of my fav pantera songs
Vinny Paul was the drummer and he has passed away as well. Pantera is having a reunion tour it started last year and Dime Bag's best friend Zakk Wylde is replacing Dime and Charlie Benante is replacing Vinny on drums. A lot of Pantera fans aren't happy about it but I think they're doing an amazing job 🤘
For another flavor of Phil's vocals I suggest Stone The Crow by Down.
"5 minutes alone most definitely needs to be your next reaction of theirs!!!
I was 40 when I first heard Pantera, the 90’s were also a great time for music.
It's absolutely amazing, Phil's vocal abilities were amazing ☮️💜🤘🔥. And Dimebag and Vinnie 👩🍳💋 Reign in Power. 🥁🎸🔥🤘
But pantera has many many greats! Need to discover more!
Five minutes alone and Im broken
Hell yeah, Pantera. 🤘🏼🔥.... Hard to believe they were once a hlam band. One of the best intros for a song.
You must check out I’m broken , 5 minutes alone, mouth for war , regular people, drag the waters , art of shredding and etc can’t go wrong with pantera
Vinnie Paul is the drummer for Pantera. Another phenomenal musician!
i saw Pantera , when they first came to UK tour of cowboys from hell album in London , the best gig i been to , the sound was amazing , it was mental , a wall of speakers i mean a wall of speakers , cried when dime died and his bro the drummer these was pure metal
RAZOR WHITE was his band before PANTERA, in Metairie, Louisiana and they all had an apartment in Metairie in my neighborhood, METAIRIE is a Suburb of New Orleans
Two tracks you should check out :
Pantera - "A New Level" which is about standing up for yourself when everything seems against you.
Type O Negative - "Halloween in Heaven" which is a tribute to Dimebag, as Type O and Pantera were friends.
